existence without operation and shedding. This time of quiescence is one hundred years for a duration of one koti koti sagars. According to this proportion if duration is one koti sagaras or less than that, the period of quies. cence will come to one antar muhurta. After the proportionate lapse of quiescence time, the molecules begin to operate and shed at every instant till their full duration period is ended. These molecules of a particular group bound at a particular time are distri. buted for its full duration minus the quiescence time with a proportion of successive less number. The greater number operates before. The least number will operate at the last instant of the duration. Whenever karmic molecules are on the point of operation, they appear in their fruits, if the outward circumstances agree with them if the outward position is not agreeable, they will shed off without giving any result. For example: suppose any one has bound karmic molecules of all the four passions e.g., anger, pride, deceit and greed simultaneously with equal duration for each. They will take equal time for ripening. After their equal period of quiescence they all will begin to shed at every instant, but all the four cannot give results at a time. When there is anger, there is not pride, nor greed nor deceit; only one kind of passion appears at a time in the thought-activity. Suppose there is outward situation of creating anger, then anger karmic molecules will appear in fruit, while
